Steven Adams is eating the Bulls up right now. Six points and already *ten* rebounds in eight minutes. Five of those are offensive boards.
On his latest rebound, he spun and immediately threw a QB pass to the opposite end for a Zaire Williams layup. – 8:26 PM

When #Bulls played at Memphis on MLK Day, DeRozan hit 10 of 24 shots for 24 pts. Saw a lot of Jaren Jackson Jr. in that game, will be interesting to see how that matchup goes tonight. #Bulls didn’t have LaVine, Green or DJJ that day. – 8:01 PM
